Found on pasture. The previous plowing chopped it in half. Made of lead and It appears to be missing it's hinged lid. It has moulded protrusions on the hinge side and the neck is narrower. Not too old, It has a registered patent No. 387733, which I guess is UK maybe about 1900 ish. Difficult to look patent up, that would tell all. But what was it a model of and it's use? A churn shaped vesta case?

Now this refers to fabric and you have a metal item .
Has a mistake been made in another item being given the design No or did Gartside just use this on something else they had ?
Fred may be on the right lines. Perhaps the needlebox was covered in that particular fabric on the design No.
Cheers

I did see that but also thought it was for something else. A logical connection though.
